Explanations:

This story takes place in Harry's 7th year and after Sailor Stars. Harry will be 17 and Serenity as well.

__________________________________________________________

  Eternal Sailor Moon had finally defeated Galaxia but all the scouts had perished and were unable to come back again. She knew, for she had felt her friends' powers flow through her veins.

  She was sad, granted, but they had told her to move on.  Cosmos had to be strong.  But she could no longer live there.  Too many memories.  Good…As well as bad.

  So, despite her tiredness, she willed the time staff to come forth and disappeared from this Japan to another, to begin a new life… and a new battle against darkness*.

  That's where they met for the first time.  Un-aloud to go to the Weasleys for the beginning of the 6th year summer vacation, Harry was dragged along to Japan because his fat uncle Vernon had a meeting with new Japanese clients for his business.

  They, meaning his bony aunt Petunia and his whale of a cousin Dudley, weren't too thrilled of this idea either…

  But all of this changed at the end of the first week, when they finally met.  They were going back to the hotel, after a tiring day of site seeing, when Vernon, completely out of patience, yelled at Harry for living, his favorite pastime.

  Lucky for him, she seemed to have appeared of nowhere and stopped the fat man before it went too far.  With great surprise, the young women made a deal with him.  She gave him her address and asked if Harry could stay with her during the summer.  It would be no trouble at all, she reassured him, and told him that at least he wouldn't have Harry in the way the next 2 months.

  'Why the little!' Harry thought, a little angry that his pride was being ruffled with.  But to his surprise, she turned and winked at him.  She had fooled the family into accepting the demand by coaxing them with their weakness! The little minx!  So with almost no goodbyes at all, the family went their way back to the hotel, never to be seen again until the end of the summer.

  It was then that she introduced herself as Usagi Tsukino.  He then really took the time to study her.  She had the most peculiar hairstyle.  Two heart shaped buns on the top of her head, all an iridescent silver.  The body of a goddess too, which could make any guy drool on the floor.

  But when he looked up, to her eyes of silver specked with dark blue, he knew he wouldn't ever be able to separate from her again. Ever.  She knew too, for she was looking at him so intensely it was frightening: power, a strong will, and… pain, so much pain.  She smiled up at him though.  True, it was kind of forced…Pain in the past!  He could recognize it anywhere.  After all, he did live to the expectations of the other wizards, didn't he?

  They would have to work on that, wouldn't they? So, after introducing himself, she took his hand and home they went.

  Throughout the past weeks, secrets were revealed and love grew.  She had told him all about herself, her past, her friends, her battles… And in return he had told her about his.

She told him she knew, of course, but she didn't really mind about his enemies.  He didn't have to ponder on that for too long either.

  After all, Serenity, as he preferred to call her when they were alone, was now 'famous' in the wizarding world for her guts in taking out 3 Dementors that were attacking children, in only hand to hand combat.  (True, when you can block your happy memories and get the ugly ones out to scare them out of this world helps a lot!  But they weren't as near as the pure evil of Chaos.) 

  The Japanese minister of magic, impressed, had asked her to help the aurors of this country to preserve peace.  She had accepted to help, but not to work for them.  'Probably in her blood, this need of fighting and protecting' thought Harry. 

  The people from the ministry had freaked out when she had told them she didn't have any use for a wand.  After all, wandless magic was thought to be dark magic.  But they had grown to accept her and stay away from her when she was pissed.  Once, in a raid, a Dementor had gotten her so angry that she had almost killed him by cutting his air supply with an odd glowing chain that had come out from her hand.  That was the last time an auror tried to intimidate her because she was younger than him. (Yeah, right! As if!)

  So summer passed away.  Fast.  Too fast for his liking.  For the first time ever, the idea of going back to Hogwarts had made him indifferent.

  He had spent the summer working on the house with Serenity (Remember, she doesn't have a vault but as Cosmos she doesn't really need one doesn't she?).  Sere had also trained him in self defense, to boost up his confidence in battle.  After all, if you're stuck without your wand at a bad time and your name isn't Usagi, you need to have at least another way of defense.

  To return to the matter of Hogwarts, his prayers seemed to be answered when his love told him that sometime during the school year, Hogwarts would hold, for the first time, a day of festivities, where all schools who would love to visit would be welcomed.  But there was a price to pay.  Those countries' Ministers would have to come too with all their best aurors.  Dumbledore wasn't stupid.  So many witches and wizards, important representatives and others would have to be well protected.  So she, along with the minister and other aurors, had accepted to help in that great task, since the Japanese wizarding school was one of the many establishment who were going to be present.

So she had promised that they would see each other soon and had parted after a particularly heated kiss.  Going back to the Dursleys, he kept asking himself if his friends would recognize him.  He had written to Sirius, professor Lupin, Hermione and Ron but had not specified his summer activities to them.  He had changed a LOT.  Physically as well as mentally.

'I'm sure Ron will freak out when I tell him the other news. I really don't know about Hermione though…'  Harry mused over his little secret, while thinking that even Dumbledore had no idea that THAT had happened.  And so, on the plane back to England, he slept, dreaming about his future.  The first time he ever believed he had a future.

WHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!  The story of how they met is… FINISHED!!! Don't worry, in the other chapters, there will be more descriptions and talking amongst the gang.  This chapter was only a preview.

GOD I'm tired. It's 1:47 am now and I just want to go to bed. -_-   I was on a writer's boost, let me tell you!!!!

Soooooooooo what do you think? Read and review!  Flames are not welcomed!!! If you hate this story, just don't review at all!

I never flamed anybody so write whatever you liked about the story. It is my first story, too.  But I know how to write one almost correctly if not with no difficulty because a read a LOT of fan fictions.

Oh well! Good night everyone!!! (Yawns and stretches)

*Meaning of 'A new battle against darkness': For Usagi, Voldemort and his followers aren't pure evil so she places them in the category of darkness.  She could beat Voldemort easily but you know: the destiny of Harry thing.

She prefers to fight in hand to hand combat than to show her powers to everyone but if the occasion presents itself, she will have no mercy in destroying her opponent.  The ministry doesn't know she has killed many times without pity in her past, and they don't have a clue of who she is. So that's about it!

Read and review!   ^_~
